my wife's 1985 ss monte carlo's speedometer is screwed dead up. it reads 5-10 mph slow while it's below 35-40 mph, but after that it starts bouncing around badly. i pulled the cable out of the speedometer housing & it looked good, so i'm thinking it's the speedometer or the speedometer gear in the transmission (2004R overdrive.) what would you think?

Sounds like a classic bad cable, but you said you visually inspected it. I'm not sure what to tell you.

the cable looked good. it wasn't bent or didn't have any broken strands.

i put a new cable in it today & it fixed it. i looked at the cable again & it was perfect. it must have been in the housing, but there wasn't any marks or even scratches on it. it's fixed thats all i care about. $10 bucks wasn't to bad on the wallet neither.
